A triangle has sides measuring 2.5x cm, 3x cm, and (2x+3) cm. the perimeter measures 60 cm.

Sagot :

The value of x is 7.6cm and the sides of the triangle are 19cm, 22.8cm and 18.2cm

Perimeter of triangle

The perimeter of a triangle is defined as the total length of its boundary.

The formula for the perimeter of a scalene triangle is

Perimeter = a + b + c,

where

"a", "b", and "c" are the three different sides.

Given,

A triangle has sides measuring 2.5x cm, 3x cm, and (2x+3) cm.

The perimeter measures 60 cm.

Here we need to find the value of x and the sides of the triangle.

Let the values of

a = 2.5x cm

b = 3x cm

and

c = (2x+3) cm

Then,

Apply the values on the formula for perimeter,

Then we get,

=> P = (2.5x) + (3x) + (2x +3)

=> P = 7.5x + 3

Now, apply the value of perimeter,

As P= 60,

Then.

=> 60 =  7.5x + 3

=> 7.5x = 60 - 3

=> 7.5x = 57

=> x = 57/7.5

=> x = 7.6

So, the sides of the triangle are,

a = 2.5x => 2.5 (7.6) = 19

b = 3x => 3(7.6) = 22.8

c = (2x+3) => 2(7.6) +3 = 15.2 + 3 = 18.2

Therefore, the sides of the triangle are 19, 22.8 and 18.2.
